Me with a Picaron

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a recent college graduate.  Believe it or not, my love for food started with trout ice cream.  Many years ago, I was flipping through the television channels and came across two men who seemed to be in a battle over food.  I was shocked  to discover that the man called the “challenger” was putting trout in the ice cream machine.

Though I was mildly disgusted by the thought of this dessert, my eyes were glued to the screen, and I could not bring myself to change the channel.  From then on, I regularly watched Iron Chef and started viewing numerous other shows on the Food Network.  I eventually tried cooking for myself, first copying recipes I had seen Giada De Laurentiis and Rachel Ray prepare, and later giving these recipes my own twist.  I will say upfront that I am an amateur- I have gained all of my knowledge of food from television, the newspaper, internet, and traveling.  My one claim to you is that I am a food follower.  I hope that if you follow me, you will become one too!
